There could be several reasons why the emails entered in the form on your Webflow site are not receiving a confirmation upon submission. Here are some possible causes and solutions to consider:

  1. Email notifications setup: Ensure that you have correctly set up email notifications for your form. In the Webflow Designer, go to your Form Settings and make sure you have provided the correct email address to receive notifications. Also, check your spam folder to see if the confirmation emails are getting caught there.

  2. Email service provider: Check if the email service provider you are using is not blocking or filtering the confirmation emails. Some email providers have strict email filtering settings, so it's worth checking with your email service provider if they are preventing the confirmation emails from being delivered.

  3. Email deliverability issues: Consider checking the deliverability of emails from your website. You can use tools like Email Deliverability Test by Mailgenius or Mail Tester to assess if your emails are being delivered correctly and not marked as spam.

  4. Form submission handling: Review how your form submission is being handled. If you have set up a custom Thank You page or a redirect, make sure that it is working properly. If the form is not reaching the Thank You page or if the redirect is incorrect, it might give the impression that no confirmation is being sent, even if it is.

  5. Form submission integration: If you are using third-party integration tools like Zapier or Webflow's built-in integrations, there might be an issue with the integration setup. Double-check the configuration of the integration and ensure that the correct email address is being used for confirmation.

  6. Form validation: Check if your form has any validation settings that may prevent the submission if certain criteria are not met. For example, if you have set up a required field for the email address, the form may not submit if the user doesn't provide a valid email.

  7. Script or code conflicts: If you have added custom scripts or code to your Webflow site, there is a possibility of conflicts that could prevent the form confirmation emails from being sent. Try temporarily removing any custom code to see if that resolves the issue.

Overall, troubleshooting the cause of the missing confirmation emails will require careful investigation and testing. By going through the above points, you should be able to pinpoint the potential issues and find a solution to ensure that confirmation emails are properly received.
